'True Blood' season four spoilers from Alan Ball -- well, just a few


True-blood-season-3-anna-paquin-alexander-skarsgard_ The upcoming season of "True Blood" will borrow at least some of its key plot points from "Dead to the World," the fourth novel in mystery writer Charlaine Harris' long-running series about telepathic cocktail waitress/fairy Sookie Stackhouse and the supernatural creatures vying for her affection in Bon Temps, La.
